In the construction, industrial, and plant engineering sectors, a work helmet is not just a legal requirement, but the fine line between an unexpected event and maximum safety. On modern construction sites, where risks related to suspended loads, lateral impacts, or falls from height are a daily occurrence, wearing an excellent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential. Kapriol's design was born precisely to overcome the old myth of the uncomfortable helmet, combining materials engineering with unprecedented comfort for the entire working day. The strength of the Kapriol offer lies in the ability to diversify structures according to the specific risk. Where maximum impact energy dissipation capacity is required, the helmets feature rigid shells designed to protect the cranium in a targeted manner, meeting the needs of those working on the ground, near electrical systems, or at high altitudes.

Before starting the day on the construction site, checking equipment is an essential ritual: helmet positioned, shoes laced, gloves ready. Often, however, there is a risk of forgetting the most invisible danger: ultraviolet rays. For those who spend the entire day outdoors – moving between hot asphalt, the height of scaffolding, or agricultural land – the sun is not simply a weather note that makes the day more tiring. It is a concrete risk agent for skin health. From this awareness stems Kapriol's choice to develop specific solutions for high temperatures, created to go beyond the concept of simple workwear. The goal is to offer garments capable of letting the body breathe and, at the same time, acting as a real solar barrier to be worn every day. Moreover, the most effective prevention on site is born precisely from the culture of safety and the sharing of good practices among professionals, especially in the hottest months.

Working in high-risk environments, such as road construction sites or maintenance zones, means facing variables that go far beyond simple physical fatigue: in these scenarios, visibility is the first and most fundamental piece of protective equipment. It is precisely where traffic and sudden weather changes can compromise safety that the Kapriol line expresses its maximum value, combining the necessity of certifications with uncompromising comfort. On the field, compliance with safety requirements is just the starting point: comfort is not a luxury, it is the foundation of concentration.

2026 began under the banner of dynamism and international exchange. For Kapriol, participating in major industry trade fairs—from SICUR Madrid to EISENWARENMESSE in Cologne, and MCE Mostra Convegno Expocomfort in Milan—represents far more than a simple exhibition showcase. It is the moment when our ongoing technological research meets the everyday reality of professionals, transforming into concrete solutions.

Between late March and early April, the change of season brings new challenges for those who work outdoors. Heat and humidity become real factors to manage, and it is precisely from these needs that the new Kapriol Spring Summer Collection 2026 was created, designed to combine protection and lightness. Imagine facing the hottest hours of the day with the freshness of a sports shoe: this is the experience offered by the new Dune Net footwear series. Thanks to NHP Ultra Rebound technology, every step returns energy, while the ultra-breathable mesh upper ensures constant ventilation. The carbon fiber toe cap guarantees maximum safety without sacrificing lightness.

In the world of work, hands are the most precious tool. But every challenge requires the right ally. It is with this philosophy that we present the new Kapriol 2026 Glove Range, a radical renewal born to elevate the standards of safety, comfort, and style. We haven't just added new models; we have rethought the very concept of manual protection to offer you more advanced products, brand-new colors, and a streamlined range to help you choose, at a single glance, the perfect glove for your activity.

Winter on the construction site has changed forever: the new Kapriol Autumn-Winter 2025-26 collection merges extreme technicality with an urban style designed for those who refuse to compromise. It is a perfect blend of technological innovation, cutting-edge materials, and a design tailored for the most demanding professionals.

Kapriol’s new generation of work footwear is created to face the toughest situations, offering an advanced balance of stability, protection, and comfort. The Dune High models represent a significant evolution for those working in demanding environments: they are designed to ensure safety without sacrificing lightness, freedom of movement, and everyday practicality. The high-stability sole, engineered to provide control and grip on all types of terrain, works in synergy with the midsole equipped with NHP (Nylon High Performances) technology.

We are proud to announce the renewal of the collaboration between Kapriol and AS Saint-Étienne for the 2025/2026 football season. After an exciting first year, we will once again stand alongside Les Verts, a historic name in French football, now competing in Ligue 2 with renewed energy and the ambition to climb back to the Ligue 1. Supporting a team like AS Saint-Étienne means sharing common values : belief in daily effort, team spirit, determination, and the desire to constantly improve. These are the same principles that guide every Kapriol project — from the construction site to the playing field.

There are those who build, and those who fight to win. We do both — every day. What do a construction site and a football pitch have in common? The answer is simple: passion, daily effort, and the relentless desire to improve and achieve great goals. In sport, success comes from a combination of constant commitment, teamwork, and the will to surpass oneself. Kapriol is proud to announce its new partnership with ACF Fiorentina — an alliance lasting until 2027 that represents much more than a simple commercial collaboration.
